Prerequisites:
All applicants must have a high school diploma or its equivalent and preferably some college level experience. A bachelor degree is required for the Elementary level courses. AMS grants an Associate credential to students who do not hold a bachelor degree and successfully complete the Infant & Toddler or Early Childhood course.

Applicants for the Infant & Toddler or Elementary course must attend the one week Overview Course if they do not hold a Montessori Early Childhood Credential.

Reference Forms – references to be contacted by the applicant:
Part of the application requests 3 references from a professional or academic context. Instructions to applicants: Below are buttons to access the reference form. Please notice that one button provides a downloadable and printable pdf (to complete the form by hand), while the other button provides a .doc version (to complete the form digitally). Either before or after completing the application form, please choose one of the two formats and download it. IMPORTANT: Complete the confidentiality waiver (in the box), applicant name, and course level before providing the form to the three people who have agreed to serve as a professional or academic reference. References may then return the form directly to MECR.

Application Deadlines:
Space is limited. MECR practices rolling admission to our program. We encourage early application to avoid being wait-listed, but continue to accept applications until a course is full (usually May).
